If (\sqrt{n}) lies between (12) and (13), which value of (n) can be correct and makes (\sqrt{n}) irrational?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (150)
Step 1: (12<\sqrt{n}<13) means (144<n<169). Step 2: (150) lies in this interval and is not a perfect square, so (\sqrt{150}) is irrational. Step 3: Square both bounds to handle square-root ranges.
